Former Derby County forward Johnny Russell has admitted he’s occasionally felt homesick since his move to the United States.

Russell left the Rams in January to sign for Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City.

During his four-and-a-half year spell at Pride Park, Russell endeared himself with the Rams faithful by scoring 34 goals in 203 appearances including a memorable strike in the 5-0 victory over arch rivals Nottingham Forest in 2014.

In his 38 appearances for Kansas, Russell has netted 10 goals including a hat-trick in a 6-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps in April.
